A Favored County in Maryland.

A correspondent of the Baltimore sun
of Friday says. Talbot county farmers
have begun notwithstanding in earnest.
The grain is dry, and in excellent condi-
ton for shipping, and the yield is salts
factory. Most of the wheat in Talbot
will he threshcd during the remainder
Of this week and next week. The dis
position is TO ship it at once, although
some farmers who can afford to do so,
and who have some confidence in the
future, will store the grain for higher
prices. The raspberry crop of Talbot
this year is the largest ever grown and
prices, though lower than last year are
rcnnmerative. Ripe tomatoes and GU
cumbcrs grown by Talbot truckers were
in market last Tuesday. Corn is grow
ing finely, AVID the prospect of Il large
crop is as good as it ever was on the first
of July. OiJord Press

both upon body and mind. You feel
absolutely incapable of doing any arlu-
Gus work, and even light duties are per-

serious disease to gain Il foothold. In
this condition the system is quick to re-
spond to the reviving quickening, and
